Market Spice Lentil Packet :)  I found this recipe in my Vegetarian Times magazine and with a few adjustments, made it for my family. It was a hit! My youngest is not crazy about curry so I omitted it from her packet and none of us like cooked raisins so I didn't add them. I also add onions to every dish whether it calls for it or not :).  We all love sweet potatoes and lentils which are the main ingredient, and since the packets are all individually made you can add/omit various ingredients according to what you like/don't like.

I make my own vegetable broth with no salt. You can use either the canned lentils or cook the lentils yourself. It takes about 20 minutes to cook about 1 1/2 cups of lentils.

Sweet potatoes and lentils get cooked in a curried broth inside packets for a lightly spicy dish. Serve with quinoa.

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 4 16-inch lengths of foil on work surface. Fold foil in half from short side. Unfold. Shape corners and edges of one half into semicircular "bowl" with 1/2-inch sides. Coat insides of foil with cooking spray.

2. Combine sweet potato, bell pepper, green beans, and raisins in medium bowl. Add oil, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

3. Whisk together broth, ginger, garlic, and curry powder in small bowl.

4. Divide sweet potato mixture among packets; top with 1/3 cup lentils. Pour 1/4 cup broth mixture over lentils, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Fold other half of foil over ingredients, and crimp edges in overlapping folds until packets are sealed. Transfer packets to baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes.

5. Transfer to plates. Let each person open packet carefully—escaping air will be hot. Top with chutney, if using.
